Warp1 Warp a buffer with a time pointer


Inspired by Chad Kirby's SuperCollider2 Warp1 class, which was inspired by Richard Karpen's sndwarp for CSound. A granular time strecher and pitchshifter.


Warp1.ar(numChannels, bufnum, pointer, freqScale, windowSize, envbufnum, overlaps, 

windowRandRatio, interp, mul, add)


numChannels - the number of channels in the soundfile used in bufnum.

bufnum - the buffer number of a mono soundfile.

pointer - the position in the buffer.  The value should be between 0 and 1, with 0 being the begining

of the buffer, and 1 the end.

freqScale- the amount of frequency shift. 1.0 is normal, 0.5 is one octave down, 2.0 is one octave up.

Negative values play the soundfile backwards.

windowSIze - the size of each grain window.

envbufnum - the buffer number containing a singal to use for the grain envelope. -1 uses a built-in 

Hanning envelope.

overlaps - the number of overlaping windows.

windowRandRatio - the amount of randomness to the windowing function.  Must be between 0 (no

randomness) to 1.0 (probably to random actually)

interp - the interpolation method used for pitchshifting grains. 1 = no interpolation. 2 = linear. 

4 = cubic interpolation (more computationally intensive).



Examples:


s.boot;


(

var winenv;

// a custom envelope - not a very good one, but you can hear the difference between this 

// and the default

winenv = Env([0, 1, 0], [0.5, 0.5], [8, -8]);

b = Buffer.read(s, "sounds/a11wlk01-44_1.aiff");

z = Buffer.sendCollection(s, winenv.discretize, 1);


SynthDef(\warp, {arg buffer = 0, envbuf = -1;

var out, pointer, filelength, pitch, env, dir;

// pointer - move from beginning to end of soundfile over 15 seconds

pointer = Line.kr(0, 1, 15);

// control pitch with MouseX

pitch = MouseX.kr(0.5, 2);

env = EnvGen.kr(Env([0.001, 1, 1, 0.001], [0.1, 14, 0.9], 'exp'), doneAction: 2);

out = Warp1.ar(1, buffer, pointer, pitch, 0.1, envbuf, 8, 0.1, 2);

Out.ar(0, out * env);

}).send(s);


)


// use built-in env

x = Synth(\warp, [\buffer, b, \envbuf, -1])


// switch to the custom env

x.set(\envbuf, z)

x.set(\envbuf, -1);


x.free;
